Seen it at last (contains spoilers)

Rating: 6/10 (19 May 2007)

Only got to see it as the wife wants to see the sequel and made the mistake of looking at the rating before watching it....for me the plot holes let it down, but if you are prepared to overlook them to some degree and just enjoy the film then it does work on some levels.
The use of the digital video cameras for me was a highlight..it gave an exceptional look to the film and the score also added to the tension and the effect too...viewing a deserted London and a traffic free motorway was an experience in itself, the story?, OK, but then again don't look too deep...best to just sit back and enjoy the ride. For me though it took up until the survivors were 'rescued' by the soldiers for the film to come to life, definitely the second portion of the film was far more superior to the first and things got much better from them on.
I like Danny Boyle's work, always have and the look and sound of the film was a major highlight, it gave our cinema sound system an excellent work out but looking at the film as a whole only lets me rate it as a 6...maybe it would have been different if I would have not looked at the ratings first and expected more...but I have the DVD for a week so it will be getting watched again.
